The RealView controller works with real-time location patient tracking and OR scheduling systems technology.

Medline Industries, Inc., will now offer the ClearCount SmartSponge System which uniquely identifies each sponge in an operating room so that they can be both easily counted and detected during surgery. To date this dual approach has made retained sponges a true ”Never Event” in all operating rooms where Clearcount has been implemented and has made it the fastest growing technology solution in this space.

Stryker’s Communications business unit offers the SwitchPoint Infinity® 3 Control System, Stryker’s 8th generation operating room integration device. The system provides surgeons and OR staff with an integrated platform tailored specifically to each individual operating room in order to increase efficiency and flexibility during surgical procedures.

Linemaster introduces its Medical Grade RF Wireless foot control, a unique plug-and-go system perfect for new applications or as a replacement for existing wired solutions. This innovative system eliminates the cord clutter on the floors while providing the freedom that wireless has to offer.

Olympus systems' integration solutions start with HD ALPHA O.R., which allows real time access, display and transmission of clinical data and high-definition images. Centralized control enables the operation of EVIS EXERA II surgical and peripheral equipment from within the sterile field. Tele-surgery conferencing can be used by surgeons who wish to collaborate with colleagues during minimally invasive surgery cases, such as Colonoscopy, Upper GI Endoscopy and Laparoscopy, without delay.

Linemaster Switch Corporation's new air foot switches were developed for reliable operation in a variety of environments and to conform with UL standards.
